The Singularity

Singularity and the Future Human:

This course will examine the impact and convergence of various 21st century technologies
on the evolution of humanity. We will examine the status of the technologies, the
estimates of their maturity, as well as the moral, social and political consequences
of their impact. We will also discuss the evolving definition of what it means to
be "Human". In addition to lecture and discussion, we will view and discuss various
utopian and dystopian cinematic visions of the future human.
